Let your Dr. know: You are fighting a serious kidney infection ; your body needs to heal, and have a reprieve, and you are on strong meds to fight it.So, let your doctor know what you're experiencing, so s/he can differentiate which is drug related, or which is pyelonephritis related, and make the necessary adjustment.Meanwhile, make sure you are well hydrated, and this will help your situation. Drink clear fluids.

Report to doctor...: You're getting the top-gun antibiotics for pyelonephritis. It may cause nausea and vomiting in 1.5 - 4% of users. To prove drug side effects, recurrent use proves the concern with high alert and watch is the must. In your scenario, do you feel dizzy on standing? If so, check blood pressure and pulse, and watch with care. In doubt, see doctor for assessment. Best wish...
